Okay, I'm slightly hijacking things. Would it be reasonable to allow paladins and rangers (probably assassins and blackguards too) extra spells per spell level for higher wisdoms? I just find it a little curious why they don't benefit a bit more than just getting spells a level earlier. That...

I don't like either the BAB or saves, but this depends on whether you apply it to monsters or classed characters. I've also ditched the extra HD as well. By taking the most favourable of class and the ghoul template, I increased the CR by 2 and that seems to have balanced things out.

I like it. BTW on Sunday been, I used it, good feedback from the players. Slow does the reverse for consistancy. Pcs slowed a Bebilth and promptly fireballed it because of the -4 reflexes, pity about the fire resistance. ;) It makes haste good, a bonus that stacks with everything bar...

Thanks all, good points noted. Particularly thank you Christian and Al, the gradual progression and interesting last iterative attacks make a lot of sense. Again, thanks all.

I really don't understand why the iterative attacks are at -5 for each new attack. Off hand, it makes power attack and expertise require a little more decision making I guess. It also lessens the power of higher level characters, especially fighting types. Flavour-wise it seems fine, but what...

One character, one prestige class (if they can qualify). I prefer to make them difficult to enter.

Fusangite, I don't have any issue with the characters succeeding in their adventures, that is after all the ideal that they should always have the possibility of doing so. In regard to your second paragraph, I as a DM expect more from my players (and myself). If a character (npcs too) won't fit...

Item creation will be more appealing but being fighting types the Paladin/Ranger are stretched for feats. Create magic arms and armour springs to mind as a fine choice... The impact on spells is rather dependant on the spell lists, whether they are from the PHB or have been altered. All in all...

Firstly, Kestrel, the email seems fine enough. None but the irredeemable would take offense. Meta-gaming is a problem as far as I am concerned. If it is good enough for my DM to run adversaries that blunder because of not being able to warn each other, it is good enough for players. As both a...

One issue that I have always been annoyed with is fighter redundency, that is the higher the level the greater the spare wheel they are due to complex combos that the spell users can do. How many BBEGs are non-spell users. My issue with BST is that it is a tactic that requires constant...

The way I view it, anything that will lead to conflict between the pc's I regard with some suspicion. Bearing in mind that alignment is a tool to quickly gauge character outlooks, it is obvious that radically different alignments will cause tension. IMC there is enough tension between the CNs'...

Just a play on your words there Vaxalon, the PC would need to 'know' the target is evil. Simply believing something is evil without double checking would lead directly to the slope of much slipperiness. OT, one of my players sold an unholy bow to a dangerous figure keen to be rid of a large...

I had to go with poopie-head :D Hiring an assassin evil... Well some would say killing is evil, I would not if in self defence. Anyway, I believe that it depends on the purpose of the assassination. If it is motivated by a desire to save lives by slaying a tyrant, well that isn't evil as I...

Thanks Mark, quite a read. I thought that I may have been missing something for a moment... ;)

What on earth does this term mean? Thanks for your time.

I just described a background siege while the pcs were doing their stuff. Originally it was like castle dracula under siege by a broad alliance of an order of paladins, stone giant clan, 2* city state armies complete with elite companies. I soon realized that a state of siege was impossible...

I think that in regards to being a general, there are many paths to doing it. I am still undecided as to which if any would be the better type with whatever traits. A general must command an army, be top of the chain of command and that their orders are acted on. Possible avenues to becoming a...

This is in reply to Henry. I as a dm would not make any such ruling, indeed I would consider that lazy and bad dming. It would have been far better to make some orcs clerics and wizards (or adepts) to better deal with the invisible pcs. A ring of invisibility should not be in the hands of a...

Thanks all I think that next time we play I'll go over the rule of challenges again and speak clearly my issue with needless ones ticking me off. I do play that someone that fights at their full bab (who wouldn't?) is seen to be as good as they are, further more, any modifiers (i.e. reasons...

From a male perspective and from a single perspective too, in my experience I far prefer single female players. Not just for the obvious reason! :p Couples that play seem to have a harder time trying to be IC, their pcs seem to gravitate towards each other. Sometimes this is ridiculous or just...
